All these years (especially during my adolesence) I have been praying to that christian god (Jehovah,YHWH,God,HIM,Yahweh,Jah,Almighty) but he has never answered a single prayer of mine.I have lived up to his standards wholeheartedly and with zeal and he spits me in the face every day.He left me when I encountered hardships or even minor difficulties even though I gave my full pottential to worship him.I got fed up with his lies and mistruths and my patience has abandoned me.Now it's time for me to turn my back on him in return.
What's the use of prayer?

Your doing something wrong, You could pray to a rock and have a 50% success rate.
What are you asking for that you never get?

Prayer is not about asking for things. Prayer is a form of communion. It's about building a relationship.

Pray this way "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference.
See if that one works for you.
If it works you can keep it.

You must be doing it wrong Peter.
My Dad prayed to Jehovah when he lost his car keys and the next day he looked in his car and there they were.
Praise the Lord
Hallelujah
